"Evolution behaves like a tinkerer" (Francois Jacob, Science, 1977). Software systems provide a unique opportunity to understand biological processes using concepts from network theory. The Debian GNU/Linux operating system allows us to…

Computational micromagnetics has become an essential tool in academia and industry to support fundamental research and the design and development of devices. Consequently, computational micromagnetics is widely used in the community, and…

Programs are a kind of communication to both computers and people, hence as students are trained to write programs they need to learn to write well-designed, readable code rather than code that simply functions correctly. The difficulty in…

We report on recent improvements to the free logic education software tool GNU Aris, including the latest features added during the Google Summer of Code 2023 project. We focused on making GNU Aris a web application to enable almost all…

We present a graphical simulation tool for visually and interactively exploring the processing of various events handled by an operating system when running a program. Our graphical simulator is available for use on the web and locally by…

Most university curricula consider software processes to be on the fringes of software engineering (SE). Students are told there exists a plethora of software processes ranging from RUP over V-shaped processes to agile methods. Furthermore,…

Current paper reports the advantages of the application of GitHub and LaTeX for the MSc thesis writing. The existing code-based program implemented in GitHub portal provides a great tool for scientists and students for data sharing and…

scikit-image is an image processing library that implements algorithms and utilities for use in research, education and industry applications. It is released under the liberal "Modified BSD" open source license, provides a well-documented…

Background: Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and CoPilot are influencing software engineering practice. Software engineering educators must teach future software engineers how to use such tools well. As of yet, there have been…

We introduce ninfty, a header-only C++ library distributed under an MIT Open Source License designed for the study of enumeration problems arising in homotopical combinatorics. The ninfty repository moreover contains a folder with data…

Author developed the parallel fully kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) code JPIC based on updated and advanced algorithms (e.g. numerical-dispersion-free electromagnetic field solver) for simulating laser plasma interactions. Basic technical…

This paper describes the architectural design as well as key implementation details of the Open Source popt4jlib library (https://githhub.org/ioannischristou/popt4jlib) that contains a fairly large number of meta-heuristic and other exact…

We present FreeBird, an extensible Julia-based platform for computational studies of phase equilibria at generic interfaces. The package supports a range of system configurations, from atomistic solid surfaces to coarse-grained…

In this study, we assess the efficacy of employing the ChatGPT language model to generate solutions for coding exercises within an undergraduate Java programming course. ChatGPT, a large-scale, deep learning-driven natural language…

When programming resource-scarce embedded smart devices, the designer often requires both the low-level system programming features of a language such as C and higher level capability typical of a language like Java. The choice of a…

Continual Learning is an important and challenging problem in machine learning, where models must adapt to a continuous stream of new data without forgetting previously acquired knowledge. While existing frameworks are built on PyTorch, the…

Teaching assembly programming is a fundamental component of undergraduate computer science education, yet many students struggle with its abstract and low-level concepts. Existing learning tools, such as simulators and visualisers, support…

We present NEP-PACK a novel open-source library for the solution of nonlinear eigenvalue problems (NEPs). The package provides a framework to represent NEPs, as well as efficient implementations of many state-of-the-art algorithms. The…

In this paper we report on a multimedia communication system including a VCoIP (Video Conferencing over IP) software with a distributed architecture and its applications for teaching scenarios. It is a simple, ready-to-use scheme for…

Compilers are used to run programs that are written in a range of designs from text to executable formats. With the advent of the internet, studies related to the development of cloud based compilers are being carried out. There is a…
